Personally, I'm looking for a decent folding/ collapsible step stool since I load from the side.

Ha! She's 9 and well disciplined with her window control.

FYI, I ran an extension and mounted the switch where my daughter can reach it from the 3rd row seat and she's able to adjust the rear window while under way when it gets too hot for her in the back. Nice feature and it doesn't seem to affect the locks while moving. I do not have the keyless...

This. While I agree the 4Runner needs an update, it is no longer postured to compete with the Bronco and Wrangler. An updated FJ Cruiser would be Toyota's answer to those vehicles if the market proves to be there for it.

Did you look at the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus? In 285/70 R17 it's D rated so I don't know where that sits since you don't want E but are good with C.

Ford vs 4Rrari

Seems like a high percentage of us with 3rd rows are due to spousal insistence. Personally I don't mind too much, but definitely would not have gotten them if the decision was mine.

Oh man, you're right. I'm going to ditch my Wrangler that I enjoy driving because I didn't realize how unreliable it is supposed to be. Seriously, people buy vehicles that suit them and their needs. If the vehicle you bought doesn't work for you find one that does. If reliability is the main...

I'll have to check out options for using the factory enclosure. I hadn't considered it, just because it doesn't seem to be worth the cost to only get an 8".

I'm trying to decide what I want to do about a subwoofer. I am used to having a nice 10" filling out the sound with some decent punch, but I'd have to build a custom box without a really decent location for it in the 4R. Added complexity is we have and use the 3rd row seats. I am considering...

We're another family that has both a 2017 JKU Rubi and now the T4R SR5. While different, they are both great and we'll be keeping them for a long time. Also for fun we have a '96 4x4 4-door Tracker that is manual everything and blast to take off-road. Good to have choices.

These are the speakers: Focal IC 690TOY Integration Series 6"x9" 2-way speakers designed to fit select Toyotas at Crutchfield

Not optimal, but they do provide protective clear decals to put under them to protect the paint.

I got mine from Amazon (there's a link in my post). It's the 40". The logo is a decal.
